He reaches my groin area perfectly in an upright position... Actually, I better stop talking now.

You win a private audience with full VIP access. And a Michael D of course.

SeaFields

He would be taller if he had a neck

HE'S NOT AS TALL AS ME!

VenusPlays

Frodo says to just send him back the Middle Earth when we are done with him.

sdanseo

Not that tall.

But speaking morally - he may as well be a skyscraper above the rest. Vote for the man. Do right by Ireland please.

With or without heels?

are you a heightist?

EarlERizer

Just a touch taller than a hobbit

I heard if he wins the election they'll budget for CGI effects to make him seem taller for public appearances,they've already approached Jim Rygiel & Andy Cook to see what magic they can do!

No just curious. It would be odd of me to be a heightist at 5 foot 8!

I couldnt help it!!!

tayto lover

I heard he drives a Dinky.

Dotrel

Judge Higgins by his size do you? And well you should not!

ninebeanrows

I saw him the other day he's pretty small

Good guy though, although most certainly not a walkover, has seriously strong and intelligent views.

Kadongy

Saw him a couple of times in Limerick city centre early today.
He is little.
But he doesn't make pretend someone's trying to kill him, kill people, or go on about pederasty.
So who cares really

I was in Claremorris this evening at about 5pm. A monsterously oversized white coach pulled up into the square. It was absolutely massive, white, gleamingly clean & had an almighty sized picture of Michael D.Higgins on the side of it.

Two speakers on the roof projected the whispy voice of Michael D around the small Mayo town streets... promises of how a fine President he would make and such like things.

It was as if a giant Michael D spaceship had just landed from the sky. An elderly couple stopped & watched as the automated doors opened up. I was expecting a fanfare....

..... but instead, out stepped a tiny little man with long strands of white hair hanging from parts of his head and blowing in the wind.

The couple looked at him, then walked on.

Michael looked around him... hoping, probably for some kind of welcome, some kind of connection with human beings. His little eyes searched the surrounding area, but apart from the elderly couple - who by now were just a small blimp on the horizon - there was no-one.

No-one but Michael & his big, massive, white, gleaming, shiny bus with the picture of his head, probably 5000 times the size of his own in the entire square.

He waited another minute, then turned, got back on his bus & was driven off into the misty grey evening.

So, to answer your question OP... he's quite small.

I would have thought Higgins to be about 5' 2, and Gallagher more like 5' 10.

Well, Ireland is a small country, and we want someone to represent us.

I'd say definitely under 5'.

gigino

he is a little old man who is past it,in a little old country thats past it.

I saw him, would say he's about 4 ft 11.
But thats not the reason I would not vote for him.

Jesus Wept

I looked it up last week, according to the article I read he is 5'4. More surprisingly, Sean Gallagher is 5'7.
